Product Description
They told themselves it was only for a month… Perrish, Florida was supposed to be just an eye-blink for Kaylee Walsh on her way to a glamorous new life in Miami-minus her sleazy ex-boyfriend. She’s not about to let a little car trouble or an empty wallet throw a monkey wrench into her plans. Not even when there’s a handsome mechanic on the other end of that wrench. Rick Braddock knows better than to give a second glance to a woman with big-city dreams. But getting Kaylee back on the road means car repairs she can’t afford. So he offers a trade. His services for hers. As a babysitter and housekeeper, that is. They tell themselves it’s only for a month. But as they settle into comfortably domestic days and intensely intimate nights, Rick realizes what a treasure he’s discovered in Kaylee. And for Kaylee, the lure of Miami is losing its shine. Then Rick discovers a fortune in stolen gems hidden in her gas tank. Is Kaylee the woman he thought she was-or is she taking him for a ride? Warning: This title contains blowing and swallowing (of bubble gum), engines overheating with sexual tension, and explicit love scenes featuring superior handling and mind-blowing torque.

4.0 out of 5 stars
I enjoyed it all the way through. It's about choices and warm feelings from good relationships., 25 Mar 2009
By Jane - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Month from Miami (Paperback)
STORY BRIEF:
Kaylee grew up in a small town in Tennessee, raised by her grandmother. After her grandmother dies, Kaylee has dreams for a better life in the big city of Miami. She packs her things and starts driving to Miami where she will live with her cousin Tillie and work as a hair stylist. When Kaylee reaches the small town of Perrish, Florida, her car breaks down and she meets auto mechanic Rick. Kaylee doesn't have enough money for the repairs, so Rick offers to fix her car in return for Kaylee babysitting his daughter Molly for about three weeks. Molly and Kaylee form an immediate loving attachment. Kaylee and Rick are drawn to each other yet they each have reservations. Rick's ex-wife Brenda had also wanted a better life in a big city. Several years earlier, Rick and Brenda went to Atlanta, had a baby and then Brenda left Rick for a richer man. Rick fears Kaylee is like Brenda and will not be happy with a small town auto mechanic who makes a decent living but is not rich. Kaylee is reluctant to give up her dreams of a big city life without ever trying it.
A second conflict concerns Kaylee's former boyfriend borrowing her car which was used in a robbery. The thief put stolen gems in a bag in Kaylee's gas tank without her knowledge.
REVIEWER'S OPINION:
I was drawn to the characters, and I loved the relationships among Kaylee, Molly and Rick. I loved watching Kaylee cook with Molly and sew clothes for her dolls. I was warmed with the comfortable relationship Kaylee had with Emma, a woman she had just met but who offered Kaylee a place to stay and to help her start a hair salon business in Perrish. It was going to be a good life - small town people, good friends, love, and fulfilling jobs for both of them - if Kaylee chose it. The story is about choices. Kaylee's thoughts are shown in the following. Kaylee says to Tillie "If I stay here (in Miami), I might meet someone else. Someone great and I'll forget all about Rick." Tillie answers, "Sure darlin'. That could happen to you just like it happened to me. For ten years I met a lot of someone elses" (but no one that she loved). Although Kaylee and Rick have a couple of passionate sex scenes nicely done, I wouldn't suggest this for readers looking for a lot of sex scenes. Read this for warm feelings about good relationships and good people.

Glad I found this book, 17 Aug 2011
By Raven - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Month From Miami (Kindle Edition)
Don't know how I missed this book in 2008. When I saw that Ms. Meyers had book 2 coming soon (which looked good) I decided to give "A Month From Miami" a chance and I'm glad I did. Loved this book, loved Rick, Kaylee & Molly. My only compliant is that it ended too abruptly. I still give it 5 stars.

By Deborah Hoofer, LMHC - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Month from Miami (Paperback)
I loved Barbara Meyers' book, A MONTH FROM MIAMI!!! A MONTH FROM MIAMI's characters and story will captivate you from the first page to the very end. This romantic comedy is a book that you will hate to put down and can't wait to pick up. It literally draws you in with its twists and turns so that you can't wait to see how it all ends. Rest assured that Barbara Meyer's book will leave you believing in romance once again.
